About Me
I work as an accounting technician at a growing software company (we provide feedback solutions to our clients). I love spending time with my family (extended and immediate), reading, writing, drawing, cooking, hiking, camping, singing...you get the drift. Non smoker, non drinker...but I do have issues with food (sometimes it takes over my life and I have trouble controlling myself - I have swung both towards anorexia as well as to the other end, with compulsive overeating). I've also discovered how hard it can be to lose weight with polycystic ovarian syndrome (and have just started metformin for this). I'm also being treated for antiphospholipid syndrome (I'm on warfarin for life).

I hope your week gets better. Sorry to hear about your issues. I'm sure you're just fine the way you are. We all have something wrong/quirky with us. Just hold your head up high and know that you are a great person! Hope you're doing well. I'm doing pretty good. It's been really hot here though. Have a great week. Hugs, Sandi
Prayer
Blessings to you - I know what you mean about not being able to look in the mirror and face how far you've let things go. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is what we're SUPPOSED to do. God knows I beat myself up with things like "Well if I'd just do this, I'd be better.." Stick with it, keep trying!

Yes, I can tell you are someone who faces challenges bravely and victoriously. Yes, the weather here was wonderful. I got outside and planted some more stuff, and redid a flower bed. For three hours----I think that's my therapy. I also got to spend time with one of my nieces and her family--she has kids age 6 and 4--and though we only live about 45 miles from her, we rarely get together. She's in your field---accounting---and works at a local university with budget stuff--etc--stuff I could never do, but I am thankful you accounting types are around for us not accounting types. She's also a lot of fun, as are her kids and husband. Have a wonderful week!

Close Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Had a miscarriage at age 21, didnt' think anything of it, have had really bad headaches(diagnosed with ocular migraines two years ago). Have been diagnosed also with a dvt (almost a year ago), and am finally starting to piece things together even though i don't like what i'm learning...
Close Migraine Headaches
Treatments
Open Ankylosing Spondylitis
I was pretty much always aware of some back pain, having been a clumsy child and fallen a lot. After a car accident, the back pain became too much to handle and I sought help. Eventually, after an MRI and a battery of other tests, I was handed this diagnosis (as well as antiphospholipid syndrome). This just means that any anti inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs or anything actually effective like that are out of the question for me. Yay for necessary pain!
Open Eating Disorders
Used to work out a lot and eat reasonably normally although in high school I'd throw out my lunches regularly. At college I lost 75 pounds in 5 weeks...and now 12 years later I seem to be compulsively overeating. I've identified some childhood memories that indicate this behavior was learned, and it's hard for me to handle.

Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
After YEARS of hearing my mom (who is a nurse) suggest that I might have this syndrome, I had it confirmed today and am ELATED...because it answers so many questions about what's been going on! Now it's time to see if this can be fixed...
